How much power is needed?
Hi,
I am going to put together a system this week consisting of:
Athlon 1333/266
Asus A7V133
384mb ram
geforce2mx
cd-rw drive
5400rpm hard drive
modem has own power plug as do the speakers.
the system has a 230W PSU.
I am wondering if adding an extra DVD-ROM drive would mean me having to get a 300W PSU or would the 230W be sufficiant for all those components PLUS a DVD-ROM?
Thanks a lot.

shottgun,
Nice system your going to build.
I would go for the 300watt power suppy if it was me. I have a AMD K7 800mhz T-bird and I use a 300 watt p/s.
I may not need it, but it dosen't hurt to have the extra power. I might need it later when I upgrade to a bigger system.
Thats my two cents..
Good luck

That mobo and CPU will need a little extra boost. A 300watt would be good, 350 better.
Also would be a good idea to make sure it's AMD-approved. You can go HERE, plug in your motherboard form factor (I assume ATX) and the chip speed.
